burvs ~ Again New Haven ant
Waterbury are Tied For Third Place
| Waterbury Loses TO Hartford
Leary's PhenominaI work Yester
| daY-His Second Home Run Thu
| Season.
| The Danburys, led by Manager Donnelly
came to New Haven yesterday expecting t.
| defeat the "White Stockings" The New
Ravens, however, played perfect fielding
game and batted hard, and won the game.
| Leary carried off the honors both in the
field and at the bat. He made his second
| home run of the season off Monroe, thereby
| winning handsome meerschaum pipe, being
the first one on the home team to make two
home runs. His batting was terrific,
for besides the home run he made two doubles.
His playing at third base was simply
superb, he making two wonderful one
hand stops which seemed good for base hits
and catching hot line hit.
There were about five hundred present, and
every one was proud of the home team, for
each player did his best to win and accepted
every chance. Murphy played an excellent
game behind the bat, although it was his
second successive time in that position, having
caught in Mondays game also. Five of the
eight clean hits off Taylor were made in the
sixth inning.
The play began promptly at o'clock with
Owens as umpire. and the New Ravens at
the bat.
Burns struck out. Mellon made scratch
hit, and stole second. Troy hit hard at Sui
Ivan, who threw wildly. Mellon scored and
Troy was on third when the ball was folded
1 - l. III H.
made neat double play by also putting out
Troy, who had started for home.
Troy threw Manlove out. Taylor hit Shay
with the ball and he took his base. He
started to steal second and Murphy threw
wildly. Cornell went to first on phantom
threw down and Shay started for third and
got there. Connell started for second and
Murphy threw to Halpin, who was near sec
ond, and Shay scored. The trick is a good
one when well played, and the man running
home would have been caught had Halpin
not been SO far away from the short stops
position that he could not make quick re-
turn of the ball Briggs went out on foul
tip to Murphy and Corcoran went out to
Halpin in a fine backward catch.
Second inning-Two men were out when
Leary came to the bat for the first time. He
made a nice two base hit, but it awaited
nothing. The Danburys went out in one,
two, three order.
Fourth inning-Troy went out on a long
fly to Rollins. Phalon hit safely. Taylor
hit to Monroe, who threw Phalon out at Sec
ond. Crowley got to first on phantom and
Taylor advanced to second. Leary walked to
the bat for the second time. This time he
raised the ball away over Rollins head into
the race track and down the embankment
with Rollins after it. Taylor and Crowley
scored and Leary logged home from third
base amidst great enthusiasm. Halpin went
out at first. The Danburys failed to score.
Rollins hit a ball swiftly toward third base
and it seemed safe, but Leary made re-
markable stop of it with his right hand and
retired the side.
Fifth inning-The New Ravens went out
one, two, three Stoutenburgh flied out to
Mellon, which was the only chance the New
Haven felders had. Monroe hit safely.
Manlove hit to Troy, who put Monroe out at
second Manlove tried to steal second, but
Murphy threw him out.
Sixth inning-Phalon hit safely and got
around to third, but did not score. The
Danburys then came in and made six singles,
one scratch hit. Shay started the ball a
rolling He tried to steal second but Murphy
threw nicely to Troy and put him out.
Rollins netted two runs. Sullivan fouled
out to Murphy, and Stoutenburgh flied out to
Phalon.
The score now stood four to three in favor
of New Haven.
Seventh inning-Leary walked to the plate
for the third time. Everybody cheered.
What was tho establishment of everybody
when he made drive to left field for two
bases. The applause and enthusiasm can we'll
be imagined. He stole third, and scored on
Murphy's base hit. Murphy was thrown out
while trying to steal second. Burns got first
on a phantom. He stole second and also
third, and scored on Briggs wild throw to
4 off ~ ir5 Mal1
stole second, but that was all the far he got.
Monroe hit between short and third and was
apparently safe, but Leary stopped it with
one hand and threw him out. Manlove made
a safe hit and went to second on wild pitch
by Taylor Shay got first on a phantom.
When Taylor pitched the next ball Manlove
made start for third, but he saw that Muir
ply could surely throw him out and SO re-
traced his steps. Shay thought Manlove was
going to third and SO he started for second.
Murphy saw that he had one of them, SO he
ran down the diamond past thepitcher's box,
and finally threw ManloYe out. 1t was fine
play tor Murphy and he was literally ap-
plauded.
This made the score to 8 in favor of
New Haven and that was the way it re-
NAMED.
In the eighth inning Leary caught line
q base hit, and many would have lodged it
and let it go by.
Halpin made hit to left field in the ninth
inning and it came near being a home run.
He would have got home all right if there
had been anybody to have coached him and
told him to slide at the plate But there
wasn't and he was put out.
This makes the third successive league
game the New Ravens have won. Owens
umpiring was perfectly satisfactory and Sec
rotary Minor could do no better than to give
him an appointment, for he would surely do
better than those we have had.
